b effective in such counties and pro
vides that 100. petitioners can call u
special election to decide this mat
ter. This in itself is creating quite
a bit of opposition to the proposed
bill as it would entail a heavy ex
pense and it is claimed by those who
Jiave made a study of the bill that
all of the meritorious features of the
proposed legislation are now incor
porated in other laws and that the
enactment of the new measure would
impose an additional tax of from on'j
und one-half to two mills on the tax
payers of this county. Considerable
agitation has arisen over the state
against the passage of this bill and
t) ere is some sentiment here in op
position to the measure.

City Manager Lafky and Chief of Po

to reduce the dangers. ,
A report on the developments to
date wag made at the meeting of the
city commission last evening.
Resolutions and ordinances occu
pied the time of the city commission
ers at their meeting last night. A
resolution was passed authorizing tho
recorder to issue purchasing bonds
in Improvement districts 89, 88, 90
ard 91. . . -
, Another resolution passed by the

existing in the street assessment of
C. P. Newlin on Oak street.;
An ordinance providing for the re
organization of the volunteer fire de
partment . which was up for third
leading, was killed and a new ordin
ance providing for the same thing
witn amendments to; the original or
dinance was placed' upon first and
second reading. .'.:
A communication received from the
Y. M. C. A. relative to water for 1915
was read, and a resolution will prob
.nbly be drawn up granting them city

General manager's report for the
week ending January 23, 1915. To
Joe Commission, Gentlemen The
'police arrested 12 besides one arrest
edonc was dismissed and two remain
in jail. Fines and forfeitures for the
week were $58.00. Pound fees $1.00.
There were 15 sleepers.
There were no fires last week.
'The street superintendent spent
$100.60 excavating under the build
ing. Of this $51.00 was prison labor.
Also bought one wheelbarrow for
$6.00 and paid $33.60 for meal tick-
The excavation under tho buildin
if far enough along to determine the
exact location of the boilers etc., to
be installed.
The dog tags and recipts are now
ready and I recommend a vigorous
enforcement of license payment. We
all know that a dog becomes almost
one of tho family and we are sensi
tive on the matter of the dog's rightii.
But when we have actual cases of
rabies all round us as well as in
town we should have no scruples in
requiring disposal of all worthless
and roaming dogs the better to pro
tect the people as well as the dogs
worth while. It might be well for
owners to keep close tab on their
dogs so us not to expose them to at
tacks of roamiir logs that may be
infected. The inconvenience to peo
ple and dogs would not begin to mea
sure up to the horrible misery and
suffering of one case of rabies wheth
er man or beast. A dog acting sus
piciously was killed last Sunday aft
er biting several dogs and threaten
ing to bite several people.
: Respectfully submitted,
F. J. LAFKY,

Hot Lunch Furnished.
Pendleton, Jan. 27. District No. 39,
of Umatilla county, the school which
i3 located at Pilot Rock junction, is
the only school in 'Umatilla county
.that furnishes its pupils with a hot
lunch at noon without cost. Whether
there are any other schools in the
county that follows this novel practice
is not known. J. M. Harrison, clerk
of the district, is in the city today
and declares that the entire school
board has pledged itself to this policy.
At tirst tne parents were required to
furnish the provisions and they were
cooked at the school, but because a
few of the parents would not stand
their share, the board voted to pur
chase the provisions with school funds.
The cooking is done in the domestic
science department of the school, Hot
luncheons, make for bettor work on
the pnrt of the pupils, according to
the way of thinking of the members
oi tne board. . ',

"See America First,"' is the slogan
of the new superintemliai't of. the
12 national parks under the charge
of tho Interior Department at Wash
ington. Mark Daniels, tho California
landscape engineer, recently appoint
ed to the place jnst created, has tak
en up the work 'not only of handling
the national parks on a scientific
basis, but of convincing the American
people thut they have spent millions
to go to Europe for scenery when they
had much better at home.
Franklin Lane, secretary of the
interior, and' Superintendent Daniels
believe there never was such 'a time
to convince the American public of
the vailue of visiting tine national
parks that there is now with the
gfeat war raging. They are going to
try to have millions of Americans
understand the beauties and the won
ders, not only of the Yellowstone, but
of Mount Rainier Park, the Sequoia,
the General Grant, and others. . .

I, F. ,T. Lafky, city manager, in
view of the fact that many of our
worthy citizens of our fair city., oi,
iiccount of lack of employment und in
many cases through no fault of their
own have been unable to provide the
necessities of life for themselves and
their families of children and in view
cf the fact that the charitable organ
izations of the city are able to eco
nomically distribute such necessities
through the recent organization of as
sociated charities. Therefore I desig
nate and set aside Wednesday, Febru
ary 3rd, as parcel and bundle day and
call upon all my fellow citizens who
may be able to do so to bring to the
Y. M. C. A. building such things as in
his judgment would be welcome to a
home destituto of the necessities of
life. Those unable to bring parcels
may call up Mrs. F. Jackson or the Y.
